Up for auction is my beautiful 1955 Chevy. This car was found in a barn after stored there for over 20 years. It had one repaint and the body was about 98% rust free. The car was then taken to a professional restoration shop were it was mini tubbed. The wheel wells were widened 2 3/4" to make them flush with the frame. All the metalwork on the wheel wells was butt welded (Not overlapped) Like most people do. The metalwork is perfect. At the same time the spare tire well was removed and the trunk floor was modified to make the gas tank centered in the trunk to make room for exsaust. Again the metal work was done to perfection. When you look in the trunk you cant tell anything was done. Looks completely stock. A brand new 9" Ford rear replaced the original it has 31 spline axles and a 3:70 posi center section. The rear is mounted with a leaf spring relocation kit that moves the springs up inside the frame. Also new 3" dropped Posie springs were used. The rear wheels are 15x10 American Racing Torq Thrusts with Hosier 29x12.5 radial tires. At the same time the entire front suspension was rebuilt with all new bushings and ball joints. A new dropped spindle / disc brake kit was added from TCI along with dropped coil springs. This car sits really low! I get compliments all the time on the stance of this car. The original 3 speed was replaced with a muncie M22 close ratio 4 speed that has been completly rebuilt. The car had a 283 engine in it that I just replaced this spring with a brand new 450+ HP 383 Stroker. The engine features a complete Edelbrock RPM topend kit including aluminum heads, RPM Airgap intake and Performer RPM cam. This engine has a ton of power and sounds awesome. Cam has a really nice lumpy sound! The carburator is a Holley 770 double pumper with electric choke. The distributor is a MSD pro billet. The car has a top of the line Grifith aluminum radiator with 1 1/4 tubes. Always runs cool. never higher than 180. The interior was completly redone about 8 years ago and still looks really nice. The body is in really good shape. It only needed one small floor section replaced on the passenger side front. It was butt welded in and you can't tell it was done. Everything underneth is original and rust free! All the floor pans and braces are perfect! This is a really good car. The white paint was redone about 8 years ago. At that time all the glass was pulled out and was replaced with all new smoked grey tint glass and and the rubber seals and window channels were replaced with new. Also while the glass was out all of the stainless trim on the whole car was professionally straightened and polished to a miror finish. The green paint on the car was just redone this year. It is the original Neptune green color. I get compliments on the color all the time. The paint job is very nice but not perfect. This is a very nice driver. Not a show car. I wanted a car that looks really good but I didn't want a car I had to be scared to drive and I didn't want $100,000 55' Chevy. This car is so much fun to drive and it looks really good. It's a car that you can keep inproving over time. My next project on the car was going to be cleaning up and painting the engine compartment. That would be the bigest thing left to do on the car. I was planning on doing that this winter. Im sure I forgot a lot. But you can email me questions or call me at 717-490-4851. There will be a $500.00 NON REFUNDABLE deposit due within 48 hours of auction end. Thanks

I just uploaded another group of pictures that are better quality and can be blown up so you can see better details of the car. The new pictures are after the ones I posted originally. Thanks |

Watch how Corvette Racing's new collision-avoidance radar system works
Fri, 22 Mar 2013When it comes to technology used in racecars, we generally expect it to trickle down to production cars, not the other way around. Well, Pratt & Miller has developed a new rear-facing radar that operates in a similar fashion to what we're used to in modern blind spot detection systems, only it is also capable of tracking cars as they approach and relaying vital information to the driver via a large display screen.
The innovative radar system debuted at last weekend's 12 Hours of Sebring for Corvette Racing, and this system makes perfect sense for endurance races like this since the cars sometimes have to drive through the night and in poor weather conditions.
The radar can detect cars even with poor visibility, and uses easy-to-distinguish symbols for the driver to identify.
Toyota tops Kelley Blue Book's Resale Value Awards
Tue, 27 Nov 2012Kelley Blue Book announced its annual Best Resale Value Award winners, and we weren't too surprised to see the list dominated by Japanese automakers - mainly Toyota and Honda. KBB hands out the awards based on the projected residual value of mostly all 2013 model year vehicles, and Toyota skated home with a number of awards including 10 of the 22 overall categories and having five of its products in the top 10 for models with best resale value. KBB's Best Resale Value Awards were announced in the same week as the ALG Residual Value Awards, and there were many similarities between both lists, especially when it came to Toyota.
To come up with its winners, KBB measures depreciation over the first five years of ownership, and looks for the cars it expects to hold its value the best after this time; on average, the report says the 2013 model year vehicles will lose 61.8 percent of its value in five years. Of the 22 categories, 15 slots were filled by Toyota, Honda and Nissan products, while the Camaro and Porsche (Cayenne and Panamera) each took home a pair of awards. If Toyota has anything to be upset about in this list of cars, it's that categories for Hybrid/Alternative Energy Car and Electric Vehicle went to the Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Volt, respectively.
The overall top 10 models for the best resale value in 2013 are, in alphabetical order:
Corvette Stingray Convertible images mysteriously appear on web, so we add our own
Tue, 22 Jan 2013It was inevitable that we'd see the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray topless at some point, but that didn't make us any less interested when a pair of supposedly leaked official images showed up on theautoinsiderblog.com last week. We posted them on our Facebook page, but held off reporting on them here until we could get a little more information.
Those images, which feature a dark red car on a sterile black studio background, supposedly first appeared on the website of diecast model maker Maisto. A Chevrolet spokesman has been reported saying that they are "not official images released by Chevrolet PR," which isn't a denial they're the real deal, but neither is it a confirmation.
Close examination of the photos suggest they could be official shots of the Corvette Stingray Convertible, and while some have doubted their authenticity due to a lack of vents (which were seen on the C7s that debuted in Detroit last week), it could be that the images are of a base model car without the Z51 package that doesn't require the extra venting and cooling.
